'London Spy'

And so, same-sex marriage is now finally legal in the UK - and about time too! That's not all, the content on our screens is certainly hotting up with its same-sex relationships too. We've had Caroline & Kate in the recent 'Last Tango in Halifax', we had the January onscreen kiss from Eastenders Johnny & Danny, we've got the many characters of Hollyoaks and of course, Renly Baratheon from the much loved 'Game of Thrones'. The list goes on, in fact it's increasingly difficult to find a show that DOESN'T have a gay character or love-story.

But then we come to crime dramas, to lawyers and to spies. It isn't very often that we get to explore homosexuality of people in roles like these. Well wait no more!

BBC2 have just commissioned Working Title to create a five part thriller-drama, 'London Spy'. The drama will be written by Tom Rob Smith, author of 'Child 44' and a few episodes of 'Doctors' here and there. It's his first proper screenplay to hit our screens, so maybe we should flick through 'Child 44' to find out if we like his style or not. If that doesn't give you faith then maybe this will. 'London Spy' will be exec produced by Juliette Howell, Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner.

The story will be based on character 'Danny' an outgoing extrovert and his relationship with the direct opposite, of spy 'Alex'. The story is set to get very interesting when the beloved Alex, disappears!

We might have to wait until 2015 to see it, but it's certainly exciting - isn't it?!
